    Bodyweight Fitness: Form Check Friday for 2020-10-30


    Form Check Friday for 2020-10-30

    Posted: 29 Oct 2020 11:06 PM PDT

    As always, please give last week's thread a once over for any form checks that could use some feedback.


    All previous Form Check Fridays


    Without further ado, please post a video (or if you can only manage a photo for a static hold) of the move you'd like to be critiqued.

    Your video should be:

    • Oriented the correct way
    • Be formatted such that there isn't unnecessary video of you preparing for the move (keep it short)
    • Have the important bits of the movement clearly visible (multiple angles is always useful)
    • You may want to show a regression of the current exercise as well, but try to keep each video to one "set" of movements
    • Include the whole body
    • Of you

    Include in your post the following details:

    • Basic Details: (Age, Weight, Height)
    • What move you are attempting (be specific in regards to progressions
    • Indicate whether this is a max attempt (holds/reps), or specify what your current best performance is
    • Any specific questions you have about your form

    Rules for critiquing form

    • Constructive criticism only
    • You need to either be able to complete the move yourself, or have experience in training others to complete the move (no "I read an article on how to do these")
    • Feel free to point others to resources that address their form and/or questions if you aren't "qualified" to give them advice yourself

    If your form is awesome, consider posting it in the Show Off Sunday thread!

    If you dun goofed, consider posting the out-take in the Slip Up Saturday thread!

    Tips for training outdoors during a cold rain season? (Fall/Winter)

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 05:33 AM PDT

    I live in the northern hemisphere (Denmark) where in the winter it rains a lot. The cold usually isn't a problem, it's the rain. I'm worried if I just try to ignore the rain and workout anyways (With rings), I will end up in no time getting a cold. Have any of you got any tips, like for an example wearing a rain coat etc..

    How do you guys fit in everything

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 02:54 PM PDT

    Hello everyone, I am wondering how you guys fit everything you want to do. Just thinking about it makes me feel hopeless. I've been working out for over a year now and have been doing good. Even though I am still a teen and am not working full time I still don't have enough time to fit everything in. I do a upper lower split 4 days a week for about 1-1.5 hours each day. Then I try to get abs workouts in. As well as that I try and do mobility and flexibility routines. I'm also trying to do cardio and HIIT. I also just started training for the front lever and hand stand and found out that a good handstand session should be done 20 minutes minimum each day and done multiple times a week. And that's just working out. I also have school, social, games, and work. Obviously I don't fit everything here in to each day but it's hard just to get some once a week. How do you guys fit everything?

    87+60kg weighted chin up progress

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 02:12 PM PDT

    just sharing my progress. last year i was 80kg bodyweight and could pull extra 55kg.
    ill stick around 85-90kg bodyweight now, feels most comfortable for me at 191cm.
    my training is actually very minimal, just doing some weighted chin ups and one arm lat pull downs every 2nd or 3rd day. this is my sole focus.
    i try to be very strict with my form and do a full motion, from fully extended arms without any swing or momentum until finish by touching bar with my shoulders
    ill update every 5kg increase, the goal is +65kg end of december

    101 muscle ups

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 02:13 PM PDT

    This question applies mostly to me, but can also help others with a similar goal (I read rule 3).

    I am 15 years old, I started working out seriously about a year ago.

    I want to be able to do 101 clean unbroken muscle ups by October 27th, 2027, and I would appreciate any advice.

    Current context: I cannot do a muscle up. I can do 11 pullups (bringing the bar to my clavicles w/ deadhang) and 16 chinups. When training arms (directly 2 times a week, indirectly 3) I do pullups with about 6kg unbroken until failure. I then do rest pauses until I can't after that. I then take of the weight and repeat the process. On Wednesday I do this for 5-7 sets. It then takes me a few days to recover, as on Friday I do some light work for back by doing pullups again, 3-4 sets this time. Sunday is indirect, where I do some shoulder work which pumps my arms but doesn't do much else (e.g. most I do for arms are lateral raises).

    Please offer some advice/criticism on how to alter my routine and progress.

    2 Finger and Thumbs Planche Training

    Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:15 PM PDT

    I have been training planche for quite a while now and can hold a good straddle on the ground. I want to start training the 2 finger planche and planche on thumbs now because I know it takes a lot of time to achieve. I am aware of the progressions for it however I have two questions.

    Should I let my fingers bend while training for it or keep them straight?

    How much volume a week should I do?
